Screaming on Vanderbilt Last Night

Did anyone else hear terrified screaming on Vanderbilt last night, around 12:15am? I was woken up from a light sleep by a woman's horrifying screams: two long screams, and a short scream that ended abrubtly. I was so disturbed I called the kids at Happy Hour, figuring they were still up, to get some advice.

On the advice of Kate and Candicissima, I called the 77th Precint to report it. Some cops came by my place around 1am and I tried to describe as best I could what I heard, where it was coming from and what time it occured. The younger cop looked highly skeptical, but the older cop assured me they would check it out.

    I had just been talking to RAH on the walk home from Indigo about how much I love living alone, but I could have really used a roommate last night. Maybe if I was with another person I would have run outside to see if I could at least get a better idea of where the screams were coming from.

    It was really scary, but as Kate said when I told her I couldn't get the screams out of my head, "Just be thankful you weren't the one doing the screaming."

    The cops actually came to our door (we live on Vanderbilt) to ask us if we'd seen or heard anything. My husband was right outside with the dog and i was up, and neither of us heard a thing...
